Entries are on display at the Coupeville library at 788 N.W. Alexander St. Entre 'fee' is a donation of non-perishable food for Gifts from the Heart food bank. Contest winners will be announced on Sunday, Dec. 23 at the Red Ticket drawing on the steps of the Island County Historical Museum in Coupeville.
